Hello there David, I sent an email reply to your private message last night, I hope you received it! The Woodcroft album is definitely not a booklet, as it was produced in the late 19th century and is large and weighty. I am happy to send photos of the pages of the album when I see my parents next month.

I live in Spain, but my parents have a copy of the book at their home in the UK. Iīll be visiting them next month and could take photos of the Woodcroft album on my phone, download them onto the computer and send them as attachments here perhaps.

This is my second reply!!

Hello, Iīd be very interested in seeing the article in the Leek Post and Times. I am a descendant of Henry Davenport, he was my great great grandfather. His daughter Minnie was my great grandmother. My parents have a family book called "Woodcroft" commissioned by Henry with photos of the family outside as well as photos of the inside of the house and grounds. As you say Henry died young and the house was left to his son Fred, who was killed in the First World War. I believe his wife sold the property after his death. As far as the family fortune, I know nothing of it...except that much was lost during the Great Depression.
Henryīs wife/widow was Eliza Hassell/Hassal (sp?). I canīt seem to find out much about her family, any information would be welcome!
